1. Expect the GOP to argue that numbers don't matter.

These are just some numbers! They don't catch what Americans really think! What really counts is how refreshing and new Trump is and how enthusiastic everybody is!

Trump is such an extraordinairy President, you can't even measure his greatness with your elitist academic numbers.

And, just as President Trump tweeted, his numbers would be better if the liberal media didn't add millions of fraudulent jobless people and it's the fault of illegal immigrants anyways.

2. "Facts are stupid things."

6. And that's pretty much word for word the response I just got.

"The numbers aren't real." " It's the Republican congress that made it happen." "What about the 90 million people out of the loop?"

I like how the numbers are both real and not real to them.

There's really no point in talking to these people.

I just don't see how you can help people who don't operate in a common reality.

8. Your socialist numbers don't impress the GOP

Especially anything that is "seasonally adjusted" from Obama's government "Bureau of Labor Statistics"

Facts have a well known liberal bias and America doesn't have time for correctness. We are going to make America great again by reversing all that! We'll take the economy back 8 years, and take our diversity back 50 years, and women's rights back 100 years! Back to when things were great!

3. Twitler and Ryan will take credit for it all

Media reports will ask "did Republican opposition create this good economy?" I will continue

4. the 'then' numbers will be even lower when trump leaves the world in shambles

[lonestarnot]

5. I will NEVER forget. Those numbers are going to look like a prize after Twitler takes over.

7. I will never forget either!

I didn't want "change" - like I heard so much discussion about after the election. That people wanted "change".

I wanted things to stay on course. We were in recovery of the worst disaster in my lifetime, being the Bush years. Things were getting steadily better and there were no new wars. We were finally headed forward; not backwards.

But, no!!! We can't have that!

On January 20th, all I am going to be thinking is "what could have been". I'm still angry at the dumbasses that supported Trump. They are stupid fools for not being able to see the disaster that he is.

9. I suspect we will be reminded of how it was all too soon...

Repubs in power = economic hard times

Like clockwork.

10. Some may not think so right now, but he'll be missed when he's gone.
